Donald Trump’s call for his supporters to protest his possible indictment this week does not deter Manhattan Attorney General Alvin Bragg, who has said such intimidation tactics will not be tolerated.
Bragg issued a note to his office staff assuring them of their safety and claiming that law enforcement was on standby to investigate any threats. He did not use Trump’s name, but stated that the threats were related to an “ongoing investigation by this office.”
It comes after reports emerged that Trump could be indicted early this week in a case involving hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.
“Please know that your safety is our top priority,” Bragg said. The note was first reported by Politico.
“We do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York,” he added.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a memo that intimidation tactics would not be tolerated after Trump called for protests over the potential indictment against him.
The former president followed up by claiming he would be arrested on Tuesday and called on his supporters to protest the possible indictment
Bragg’s office is coordinating with the New York Police Department and the Courthouse Administration’s office to prevent potential violence, as law enforcement works to enhance security around the New York County Superior Court.
“Our law enforcement partners will ensure that any identified or credible threats against the office are fully investigated and that appropriate safeguards are in place so that all of our 1,600 people have a safe work environment,” Bragg wrote.
Trump urged Americans over the weekend to protest the imminent criminal charges against him over payments to Daniels before he ran for president.
Prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office met Saturday to discuss how to handle the announcement of Trump’s indictment and arrest, which the former president claimed would happen on Tuesday.
Officials are also preparing for demonstrations that could turn violent after Trump posted a provocative call for Americans to “protest, protest, protest” when protesting online over the legal issue online.
The former president risked unrest by posting on his Truth Social platform that “it’s time” and called on his supporters to organize demonstrations to “save America”.
Trump’s letter, written entirely in capital letters, was released hours after he said he would be arrested on Tuesday over allegations that he broke the law by paying porn star Daniels $130,000 to hush up their alleged affair, which he denies ever happened.
“We can’t allow this anymore,” Trump wrote. They are killing our nation while we sit back and watch. We must save America! Protest, protest, protest!!! ‘
Trump denies he had a sexual relationship with Daniels (pictured with Trump) and his lawyer has described her $130,000 payment for the quiet as a “disturbing payment” that the rich or famous sometimes pay to hide a distraction.
Trump released a post written entirely in capital letters, calling on his supporters to protest just hours after announcing his claim that he would be arrested on Tuesday.
